Following South Korea's elimination from the FIFA World Cup, the Red Devils (the official supporters' club of the South Korean national team) issued a statement condemning national team coach Hong Myung-bo.

Statement from the Red Devils Fan Club

We waited with sincere hope and concern until the final moments.

"Please continue supporting the Korean national team," was the players' parting request;

We trusted and supported the coach wholeheartedly;

Being eliminated in the Round of 32, and in such a disappointing manner, filled us with anxiety and anger.

As our hopes shattered and only disappointment remained,

Our sincere efforts—traveling thousands of kilometers to Mexico and persistently supporting the team there—

have now come to nothing, and we can only withdraw.

The tragedy showed signs from the beginning, but the entire nation continued to support only the players,

pouring our hearts into cheering them on once more.

We are disappointed, not simply because of elimination in the Round of 32.

Anyone can have a bad match, and everyone has a first loss at the FIFA World Cup.

What breaks our hearts is that the players showed no fighting spirit, lacked resilience,

and remained indifferent even as everyone cheered them on with all their might.

If someone tries to cover up past mistakes and seeks our sympathy,

that is not self-redemption, but an attempt to save themselves,

destroying Korean football in the process (referring to Hong Myung-bo).

Until the very end, he never apologized to the nation or showed any sense of responsibility.

He deceived the public with flowery words and weakened Korean football,

and is no longer worthy of wearing the Korean national team jersey.

He must face thorough investigation, apologize to the entire nation,

and permanently leave the world of football.

The Red Devils, the official supporters' club of the South Korean national football team,

will withdraw all support for future matches

and permanently seal away all the love we have given to Korean football,

until those responsible offer a sincere apology.

We earnestly ask everyone to witness this moment with us.

June 2026: the day Korean football died.
